Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on bolstering their lineups. The two Premier League clubs find themselves far from their glory days. As a result, they are keen to build back and cement their legacy even more. The Red Devils are far from being at their best. They have tried to re-invent but have failed to do so. It’s been 11 years since they last won the league title. As for the Blues, they have made some good changes this season. At the same time, they do look promising on the field. But they are still not quite there yet. Viktor Gyokeres is a top target for both these clubs.
Why Viktor Gyokeres?
The 26-year-old striker has managed to perform consistently in front of goal in recent years. Both Manchester United and Chelsea are big clubs and rising once again. The striker will have a great chance to become a star for either of them if he flourishes just like he has been doing so far. His recent hattrick against Manchester City in the UCL shows that he can be a big game player too. At the same time, he boasts impressive numbers. As per transfermarkt, he has 85 G/A in 67 appearances for Sporting. Also, he has the most goal involvements in 2024.
Who will win the race: Manchester United or Chelsea?
Both clubs are leading the race for now. But, they also face tough competition from other big teams. Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also keen on signing Viktor Gyokeres. Although Manchester United will have a slight edge over Chelsea and everyone else too. As per dailystar, Ruben Amorim could become a big factor in deciding the transfer. Amorim will be taking charge at Old Trafford after the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag. So, there is a more than likely chance that we could see the 26-year-old playing for the Red Devils next summer.
